Nikolaos Samaras

Summary

Nikolaos Samaras received his Diploma in Applied Informatics from the University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki, Greece in 1996 and his Ph.D. in Applied Informatics from the same University in 2001. In 2003, he moved to the University of Macedonia, Department of Applied Informatics. From April 2016, till this day he is serving as director of the Computational Methodologies & Operations Research (CMOR) Laboratory.

Professor Samaras’s current research interests are at the interface between computer science and operations research, with applications in a variety of engineering and scientific systems:
- Linear/Non Linear optimization: theory, algorithms, and software.
- Network optimization: theory, algorithms, and software.
- Integer optimization: theory, algorithms, and software.
- Scientific computing: HPC, and GPU-programming.

His research work has resulted in: (a) the development of a new algorithmic family for solving linear and network optimization problems; (b) the efficient implementation of the revised simplex algorithm using GPU; and (c) novel algorithms and software for operations research.
